These are really nice! It was odd to get these now and then do a review of them, but oh well. Christmas in July!! First thing is that the box is somewhat flimsy which I'm sure led to the damage it incurred during shipping. The doors look easy enough to open, though we didn't do so. The plastic container is enough to keep the rocks separated, but not enough to withstand shipping challenges. The rocks themselves are much better than I expected. To be honest, I didn't think they would be this nice, this size or as polished as they are! This is what really makes this a gem. It would have been great to have the doors printed with what stone they were, but I have no idea if these are filled randomly or the same way each time. That being said, they did include a card sheet to show what was what, but that is tucked away inside, so you need to retrieve that before opening anything. Then if you do that, you take the surprise away of what's inside. No real good answer except print on the door what is what. In my opinion at least. Overall, I would say this is really nice, but could use a few improvements.

The media could not be loaded.  I am incredibly impressed with the size and quality of some of these crystal stones. No duplicates, but two or three don’t quite match up to their picture. For example, the Tigers Eye is either very low grade or a completely different stone, and the Sodalite has hardly any blue on it so is hard to identify.This, for an Advent Calendar, is a wonderfully unique idea. However, I feel for that purpose it needs to be more solid. The box I got was pretty beat up and the stones sit in a flimsy tray, like what cookies/crackers come in(?). Seems like they may fall out and about with too much movement. I’d recommend opening the calendar horizontally so one doesn’t fall out onto a hard surface. It’s not easy to pop open the little doors either, without tearing something. Also, it bothers me the numbers aren’t in order. Seems to take away from the anticipation of counting down -that’s just me though, I know many others are similarly designed. It is nice you can pull them out without having to punch any doors though and the identification card is basically necessary.I like that the box’s design isn’t overly religious either. Well, it’s not religious at all really. Just a starry nightscape with the train of reindeer in the sky.Some of these crystals are amazing, especially considering the low price. For instance, the rose quartz is polished into a large egg and the Citrine is a sizable sphere. A few have some cracks and aren’t the greatest of specimens, but overall are above average.People of all ages will get a thrill out of this collection. I’d suggest being very careful with that box though. If you’re mailing or sending it, consider writing a note, or even making/buying a different box altogether. And careful not to let the stone fall out after opening the door. Probably better to do the calendar horizontally.A superior value for an extremely nice collection of crystal stones. I absolutely would gift this (noting the whole box caveat) and order another for myself.

I ordered this advent calendar for my 8-year old nephew who loves all kinds of nature and science things. The stones themselves are nice - they are well polished and smooth and are a good size for kids. The calendar box is not very nice. It is quite flimsy and the design on it is not very bright or appealing for kids. I am going to add some bright Christmas stickers to it to make it more interesting for him. It does come with an identification card that is nice so he will be able to learn the names of each of the gemstones. The set did not come with the crystal "holder" type item shown at the very top of the first picture in the listing. It only comes with the gemstones. I like the idea behind this advent calendar and the gemstones and ID card that are included are nice.

I think this advent calendar is so creative! I grew up with the traditional chocolate a day type of advent calendar but, I would have lovvved this as a kid! But here i am a 40 yr old adult and I fully enjoyed opening each day and seeing what treasure i would get!! I had a blast! I feel like this is fun for any age!As far as the crystals, they seem like nice quality.. you certainly aren’t getting super high quality specimens but what you do get is very pretty and a nice representation of the type of crystal. I love that each day is a different stone.. i didn’t have any duplicates even though some look similar.. i like that there is a cheat sheet included that also tells about the spiritual and healing properties of the crystal. The only thing i would have liked is if the information sheet also described what each stone should look like or specific characteristics.. it only tells about the spiritual properties and the pictures are a little deceiving to help identify. But that’s a very small thing.. overall it’s pretty clear which crystal is which. As mentioned, each specimen is pretty and in addition, you get a nice size with each. These certainly aren’t small chips.. they are each a nice hefty specimen and are beautiful to display! I love that! I expected them to be half the size, so happy surprise!The calendar box they come in is a thinner cardboard so when you get towards the last doors, they can be hard to open without tearing the paper up. I noticed I really had to bust into each door but, that was part of the fun! Also you can open the calendar at the top or bottom and slide the tray out if you want to rearrange the crystals. The identification sheet is also inside the calendar and behind the tray for easy access.Overall I think this is a fantastic idea and it’s SO much fun! It would be perfect for any age, both young and old! It would be great for Crystal lovers or as an educational opportunity to learn about Crystals! And putting it in an advent calendar is so creative! This calendar in particular is well worth the price! I highly recommend this!
